Unbelievable Experience, Small group on boat, Big Groupers below the boat.
The Dive Masters were very good at what they had to do on the boat and in the water. Thank you to my new friends Ivo and Andrea. I had the Experience I will never forget. Well, I was the only one that showed up. First thing take off your shoes and hop on! Ivo set up my gear and showed me my room. Very nice room with side window and top hatch for a nice breeze. Hot shower. The diving is what I came for and I had all the dives I wanted, at all the dive sites I wanted to dive. They were all amazing in there own way. The best was the Hammerhead at Pillar Wall with Ivo. And Shark Arena with Andrea. I have never been so close to big Reef Sharks. And I am so happy I have Pictures and video of my experience. I will see you next year Oleg. California Tom S.

Incredible experience
There was a good mix of dive sites (reefs, sharks, wrecks), with flexibility to see different ones, depending on weather conditions. The crew was very good at their job. The dive masters were clearly well trained, and knew the dive sites and local sea life in-and-out. The captain is also an excellent cook. We never had the same dish twice, and the food was all creative, and just what you need after a day of multiple dives. The crew were quite friendly, and made us feel at home during the whole trip. The catamaran is a great boat to dive from. It is spacious, provides a stable platform, and offers easy entry and exit from the water.

Great trip, great captain & crew, great dives
I had the opportunity to spend a week on the Phoenix. It is a family boat with a great Captain and 2 young and passionate diving instructors. Captain cooks very well every meal. Diving sites are great and we had the opportunity to see providence and others islands. Great diving and human experience.

Great Budget Way to Experience the Best of Bahamas Diving
We dove the Clifton area near Nassau instead of the Exumas based on others suggestions. Good choice...MANY shark encounters...MANY large black groupers.

Good diving trip
The boat need some upgrades, and rules and procedures in a small boat needs to be improved. The service was nice and the diving sites amazing

Exceeded all my expectations of a liveaboard experience.
This was my first live-aboard experience and traveled solo. The Bahamas in itself is a beautiful county and the diving was topnotch. An abundance of sea life, including a variety of sharks, rays, grouper, turtles, crabs, lobsters, jacks, snapper.... the list goes on and on. Diving in Exuma felt like swimming through an underwater forest with large schools of fish, giant corals, sea fans and sponges, the reefs were VERY healthy. The boat was cozy and comfortable, with hot fresh water showers and private bathrooms. Captain Navado had great knowledge of the area, always providing safe navigation, history lessons and great sightseeing up top! Dive-master Ivo excelled on fish ID, underwater navigation, diver safety and comfort. He led us through endless swim throughs, wrecks, drift dives, shark dives and the beautiful Lost blue hole. Chef Anna made delicious meals, always creative and different. She catered to specific diets offering hot tea or coffee post dives with fresh baked goods, definitely well fed!! The moment I stepped on board the staff made me feel welcome and at home. We shared stories between dives and over an evening cocktail making them feel more like family in the end than staff. Highly recommend this live-aboard.

TOP Tauchsafari + TOP Boot
My best safari and dive holiday the past years ( 280 logged dives)The catamaran is super comfy and familiar, u feel like at home after short time.the cabines are nice and clean,Oleg the captain is a excellent chef, the food was super nice during the whole stay. and it was really a familiar cosy atmosphere during the whole stay.the boat has a special flair and its a really special dive safari experience ( not to compare to other dive boats as its small and very private feeling here) its all super individual, the diving is super comfy - straight from the room into water. from the back with 2 entrance with a giant step.Simon the dive instructor was super professional dive guide, we had 17 wonderful dives and i can just recommend to dive with this guy.swiss at its best.we got luck with visibility and the UW world in bahamas is really intact and colorful. Bahamas is my new maldives.We had wonderful sailings in-between nassau-exumas and spend super nice evening up at the starboard, i will never forget this trip and hope to come back soonto Bahamas!
